Duane Adam

Programmer and entrepreneur hybrid. Fueled by passion, driven by change.

I have a strong passion for technology, entrepreneurship & people.

I am 19 years old this year (2014) and I have been loving and doing what I do now since the age of 16. I am a self-taught application developer & designer who believe apps are meant to simplify people's life, not make it harder - apps are to be be beautifully architectured for the user.

Apart from that, I am someone who believe in the power of young people. I want to empower other youths to learn, innovate and create. Especially the youths in my hometown, Sabah. To achieve this, I joined & became committee members of local organisations in hopes to inspire other local youths.

Aside from my day job, I take online classes & read books to further fine tune my skills in different fields. I believe learning is lifelong journey. One will never stop learning & should never stop learning. I also work on my list of ideas that I hope one day to turn into a sustainable startup.

I love hackathons & startup events. You get to know people & learn. I have joined and won a few startup events myself.
1) D-Code Silicon Valley
2) Mega Startup Weekend Malaysia
3) Pitch Borneo finalists

I am always open to ideas, feedbacks & discussions, should you have any, do email me.
